Uddhav Thackeray, steering the course of the 52-year-old Shiv Sena and setting its compass for the next decade, is not a great fan of Shakespeare’s work. Yet, the classic dilemma from Hamlet – “To be, or not to be...” – best describes his political predicament of the last four years. And underscores his Dussehra speech at Mumbai’s famed Shivaji Park.
Caught in the dilemma of whether to be an ally or adversary to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Thackeray dialed back to the Sena’s agenda of the 1980s – belligerent and confrontational Hindutva. |
